tidal (Levi x Reader)

90. pimpernel

"I'm going to-" Eren shifted uncomfortably, "I'll think about it."

YOU'LL WHAT?

"-But don't expect me to like you."

that's more in character

"I never asked you to."

"I'm going now," Eren stood up nodding at Levi before quickly leaving.

well-

"Your turn," Levi sighed, running a hand through his hair.

YOU'RE SERIOUSLY THINKING ABOUT HIS ATTENDANTS NOW ??

DON'T ACT LIKE YOU WEREN'T ALSO A PROBLEM IN THAT CONVERSATION

WHAT DID YOU AGREE TO??

"You have some explaining to do," I frowned, brushing off his comment.

you don't get let off the hook just because eren looks like he might change

"Right," Levi's tone hardened, "let's go somewhere more private."

alright

"Hey, Levi?" I asked, moving to leave the room with him.

"Yes?"

"Whatever this is- it's not something I'm going to hate you for right? Because if that's the case you should start thinking of a good lie right now."

"It's stupid don't worry about it," he squeezed my hand in reassurance, leading the way to his office.

you're making me worry about it

i'm going to pass away from stress at this rate

:///

"Don't laugh," Levi grumbled, shutting the door behind us.

what would i even have to laugh about??

it sounds serious

whatever it is

"Alright?"

"When I was-" he frowned, thinking, "eight? My parents discussed marriage with the royal family."

oh

"With the first princess?"

"Right- they were close to finalizing that marriage when they died," he muttered.

"So the reason why she thinks you belong to her is because of a deal nearly a decade old that never actually went through?"

"I assume so."

"This is all because of a decade-old contract and you never told me?"

YOU DON'T EVEN NEED TO BE WORRIED ABOUT ME LAUGHING

"Well-"

"All the times I asked you why she was doing this and you never thought to let me know?"

"I didn't even-"

"You're an idiot Levi Ackerman."

you're so unbelievably stupid

"In my defense, I had no clue she was holding onto that."

OF COURSE, SHE WOULD HOLD ONTO THAT

"She has no right to try and change our lives over it but it makes perfect sense why that would matter to her."

neither her nor eren has any right to be upset with me
